We The Patriots Podcast

Taxes never stop bleeding us dry—Sal Assante dives deep into the rigged U.S. taxation nightmare, breaking down W-2 employees getting hit before payday vs. 1099 contractors slammed with self-employment double-dips on Social Security and Medicare. "The government already takes its cut" at every layer—payroll, income, multiple hits on the same dollar—crushing middle-income patriots while entitlements and spending balloon unchecked. Many Americans don't even realize how over-taxed they are, with no real benefits to show for it. Sal pushes bold reform: a simple flat tax rate, letting you control your own withholdings—"I think Americans could figure it out." We're extremely over-taxed—time to simplify, slash the burden, and demand fairness before the system collapses under its own weight. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wethepatriots/Follow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:45 Understanding W-2 vs. 1099 Taxation03:55 The Complexity of Multiple Tax Types08:01 The Burden of Over-Taxation10:26 Proposed Solutions for Tax Reform

Shockwaves from Trump's lightning strike: Sal Assante dissects the bombshell capture of Maduro in Venezuela's chaos, labeling it a "war of aggression" that reeks of impulsive regime change without Congress's nod—echoing history's failed interventions. From the resurfaced Greenland controversy spotlighting Trump's wild strategic plays, to exposing deep fraud in Minnesota's government spending that's fueling public rage, Sal rallies on the brewing tax strike sentiment: "We are stuck footing the bill" for endless elite blunders. Patriots, this is the wake-up call for new political thinking—end the overreach before it bankrupts freedom. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Tune in on Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLwFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:40 Trump's Bold Move in Venezuela09:28 The Greenland Controversy13:13 Fraud in Minnesota16:57 The Call for a Tax Strike24:07 Reflections on American Policy

The Second Amendment isn't just about guns—it's the ultimate shield for the First, and Sal Assante lays it bare in this hard-hitting episode. From historical infringements that crippled law-abiding citizens to modern gun control laws creating helpless "gun-free" zones where crime explodes, Sal exposes how government overreach strips your right to self-defense while leaving tyrants unchecked. "The Second Amendment protects the First Amendment"—and without an armed citizenry, freedom dies. We should be exercising our rights, because protecting our Republic comes with a cost: the willingness to bear arms against threats foreign, domestic, and bureaucratic. Wake up, patriots—disarmament is the road to serfdom. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wethepatriotsFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:50 The Importance of the Second Amendment01:14 Introduction to the Second Amendment03:56 The Importance of the Second Amendment07:11 Historical Infringements on the Second Amendment10:39 The Impact of Gun Control Laws12:55 Defending Against Tyranny and Ensuring Safety

America's future is vanishing—one birth at a time. Sal Assante exposes the brutal truth behind plummeting U.S. fertility rates, stuck below replacement level since 1971 amid skyrocketing costs, delayed marriages, and a culture that punishes families. From the staggering impact of 65-67 million abortions to economic strains crushing young couples ("things cost so much"), Sal breaks down how low births threaten Social Security, healthcare, and national sustainability. Plus: Does mass immigration mask the crisis while reshaping our cultural fabric? It's time for bold policy fixes and cultural resets to reclaim family-first America. Fertility rates are so low—why? Patriots, wake up before it's irreversible. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wethepatriotsFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:41 Economic Factors Influencing Fertility01:50 Cultural Shifts and Marriage Age03:16 Understanding Replacement Rates04:56 Impact of Abortion on Fertility Rates06:37 Consequences of Low Fertility Rates09:08 Cultural and Economic Implications of Immigration12:41 Proposed Solutions for Improving Fertility Rates

As 2025's holiday cheer fades, Sal Assante unleashes on America's economic nightmare—brutal job market stats and tech sector bloodbaths that Wall Street's fake boom can't hide. From Trump's eyebrow-raising sit-down with Mamdani signaling shady alliances, to fresh Epstein files screaming cover-up amid Venezuela's military saber-rattling, Sal demands transparency before the elite bury it all. Wrapping with Gaza and Ukraine's fragile ceasefires crumbling under violations from all sides, he questions if U.S. war machine spending is fueling endless chaos. No sugarcoating: We're in a "big problem," patriots—time to release the files and reclaim our future. Alarming layoffs: Tech hits hardest as stocks lie about recovery.
